Comb. Baseline-Envir. Site Assess. or Baseline Doc. Reports

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Master Agreement PL524 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) that provides comprehensive environmental assessment services for conservation land acquisitions. The contract enables the procurement of Combination Baseline Documentation-Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Reports and related services, specifically targeting less-than-fee-simple land acquisitions for the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund. Services include Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments for properties where conservation easements will be established, with detailed evaluations of environmental conditions, potential contamination risks, habitat types, and land use characteristics.

The master agreement is awarded to Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. and will operate from November 1, 2023, to November 1, 2028, with potential for a five-year renewal. The contract covers statewide operations in Florida and utilizes a task-based pricing model with per-acre rates ranging from $18.34 for smaller properties (up to 250 acres) to $2.75 for larger properties over 5,000 acres. Task assignments will be issued based on project proximity, contractor availability, and specific environmental assessment needs, with no guaranteed minimum work volume. The IDV is structured to support the DEP's conservation land acquisition process through standardized, comprehensive environmental documentation.
